Inspiration for the boys' room

I was browsing the internet for ideas for the boys' room. IKEA + Children gave these stunning results:

I love the colours. So I have decided to spice up the blue guestroom (which will become the boys' room) with a little bit of yellow. Only problem. The STUVA storage system is not exactly yellow but lime green...

This is such a great storage idea. I already had on mind to use fabric boxes for the boys' clothes. But how lovely are those little tags!

This is definitely a design I want to copy. I already bought the frame boards in order to use them as book shelves. What a beautiful way to showcase lovely books.

DIY: Storage boxes

I was looking for nice storage boxes for the girl's room. But somehow I didn't want to spend a fortune and then in the end I made some by myself. I used five rectangular pieces (around 30x30 cm) of thick felt for each box. You can decorate the felt with applique or iron-on decorations or just embroider it. I have simply sewn the sides to the bottom and then closed the side seams. You can decide wether you want to fold the edges over or not. It adds a little more stability to the boxes.

Good storage ideas can make your room look so much nicer and less cluttered. Here are just a few ones. Very stylish ones so to speak. We have recently turned some old wine boxes into toys storage too and it looks really cool!
